Data Protection & Privacy

Described by many as the “new oil” for the digital economy, there is no doubt that personal data are now seen as critical for organisations to succeed. However, like oil, personal data can be toxic when spilled, presenting a new world of risks.

The frenetic conversion of the global economy to an increasingly digital, internet-driven model has stimulated a rapid change in privacy, data protection and cyber-security laws and regulations, most notably the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It is important now more than ever that businesses are fully informed and fully compliant.

What sets us apart from competition is that we understand that, whilst a purely compliance-driven approach to GDPR could deliver full protection of individual rights, it is not intended to prevent legitimate commercial activity or to hamper business innovation. To avoid this, we help business to (a) modernize architecture, (b) adopt privacy principles and (c) take an identity and privacy engineering approach.

We frequently advise clients on data privacy, especially in relation to the GDPR.
